By George & Ira Gershwin from the unpublished Operetta "East Is West" and the Musical "Girl Crazy".

From the musical "A Connecticut Yankee" (1927), sung, then, by Constance Carpenter and William Gaxton.

Sarah Vaughan possessed "what may well be the finest voice ever applied to jazz" (The New York Times critic 1957).

"...the single best vocal instrument of any singer working in the popular field" (jazz singer Mel Tormé).

" I'm not a jazz singer...What I want to do, music-wise, is all kinds of music that I like, and I like all kinds of music" (Sarah Vaughan).
